President Volodymyr Zelenskyy heard a report from Head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine Oleh Ivashchenko on the state of Russia’s military production and the deployment of “Oreshnik” systems on the territory of Belarus.
He reported this on social media on December 24.
“First, these are attempts by Russians to remove their energy companies from under global sanctions. They involve other temporary owners and numerous fictitious legal schemes. We are tracking all of this and will communicate with our partners so that the pressure works and Russia cannot make money for the war through such manipulations”, — the President wrote.
They also discussed the deployment of “Oreshnik” systems in Belarus.
“Intelligence has obtained more details on this, and it is important that our partners also know and take this into account in their defensive measures. We believe that the aggressive proliferation of such weapons poses a global threat and creates a dangerous precedent. I instructed them to prepare response options jointly with our partners”, — the President stated.
In addition, the report addressed the state of Russian military production and cooperation with companies and entities from other countries. An increase in Russia’s ties with entities in China capable of providing space intelligence data was recorded.
“Unfortunately, there were correlations between imagery of Ukrainian territory taken by Chinese satellites and Russian strikes on relevant energy infrastructure facilities. We view such cases as activities that enable Russia to prolong the war and make diplomatic efforts less serious. We will also discuss this with our partners. Thank you to everyone who helps Ukraine!” — he concluded.
